Resistance to Plasmodium vivax blood-stage infection has been widely recognised to result
from absence of the Duffy (Fy) blood group from the surface of red blood cells (RBCs) in …

ACKR1, located on chromosome 1q23. 2, is the gene that encodes a glycoprotein
expressing the Duffy blood group antigens. This gene is transcribed in two mRNA variants …

The molecular basis of the three major alleles (Fya/Fyb/Fy) of the Duffy (FY) blood group
system has recently been established but the Fyx phenotype associated with weak …

Blood group genotyping is gaining widespread adoption in blood centres and transfusion
services. The current interest for a blood centre is its use as a screening tool to accurately …

The clinical importance of blood group antigens relates to their ability to evoke immune
antibodies that are capable of causing hemolysis. The most important antigens for safe …

Although recent investigations into the human blood groups have proceeded mainly at the
molecular level, the RBC remains an exquisite model to study the expression of various …

Malaria is an acute infectious disease caused by the protozoa of the genus Plasmodium.
The antigens of the Duffy Blood Group System, in addition to incompatibilities in transfusions …

BACKGROUND: The DARC (Duffy blood group, chemokine receptor) gene encodes for a
transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a chemokine transporter, is a receptor for …

The GATA box single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position− 33 (T> C) in Blacks
silences the expression of FY* B in erythrocytes, and the substitution 265 C> T, together with …

The article focuses on the study which identifies the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis
for antigens in the Duffy glycoprotein. The Duffy glycoprotein plays a role in inflammation …
